Nystagmus 1, Congenital, X-linked; Nys1

Description

Classic congenital or infantile nystagmus presents as conjugate, horizontal oscillations of the eyes, in primary or eccentric gaze, often with a preferred head turn or tilt. Other associated features may include mildly decreased visual acuity, strabismus, astigmatism, and occasionally head nodding. Eye movement recordings reveal that infantile nystagmus is predominantly a horizontal jerk waveform, with a diagnostic accelerating velocity slow phase. However, pendular and triangular waveforms may also be present. The nystagmus may rarely be vertical. As these patients often have normal visual acuity, it is presumed that the nystagmus represents a primary defect in the parts of the brain responsible for ocular motor control; thus the disorder has sometimes been termed 'congenital motor nystagmus' (Tarpey et al., 2006; Shiels et al., 2007).Congenital nystagmus may also be a feature of other ocular diseases, such as albinism (see, e.g., OCA1A, {203100}), achromatopsia (see, e.g., ACHM3, {262300}), and Leber congenital amaurosis (see, e.g., LCA1, {204000}). Congenital nystagmus is associated with at least 3 X-linked disorders: Nettleship-Falls ocular albinism (OA1 ), which maps to Xp22.3; complete congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1 ), which maps to Xp11.4; and blue-cone monochromatism (CBBM ), which maps to Xq28. Genetic Heterogeneity of Congenital NystagmusTwo other X-linked forms of congenital nystagmus have been reported: NYS5 (OMIM ), which maps to Xp11.4-p11.3, and NYS6 (OMIM ), which is caused by mutation in the GPR143 gene (OMIM ) on Xp22.3. Autosomal dominant forms have been mapped to chromosomes 6p12 (NYS2 ), 7p11 (NYS3 ), 13q (NYS4 ), and 1q31-q32 (NYS7 ). Autosomal recessive inheritance may rarely occur (see {257400}).
